Chapter 440: Reinforcements Finally Arrive
Wu Qi didn't want to tell the cruel truth and let this soldier who didn't know too much suffer psychologically.
Ever since Wu Qi had faced two third-order plague species and won the battle, he had thoroughly understood how terrifying the attraction of the unearthing of the Immortal Bone would be. On the next journey back, the real obstacle to them will be the inexhaustible second-order plague species and the plural third-order plague species!
An enemy like a heavy beast with only one third-order ability is already very difficult to deal with, and once a third-order overlord like a cloud eagle appears, the return team of six armed heavy field vehicles, dozens of soldiers, and dozens of miners will be a flat boat on the sea on a stormy night!
They want to carry the immortal bones back to the Dawn base smoothly, and they can't do it without luck!
At this time, the miners on the surface had moved the crane to the deep shaft leading to the underground in the center of the mining area, and every 1 minute, a number of long thick ropes connected to the crane pulled up a part of the bone from the bottom of the deep shaft. Each piece of detached bone weighs at least a ton, not something that a dozen miners can lift; The miners in charge of the handover drove the trucks to transport the massive, heavy bones to the back of each heavily armed field vehicle, where elite soldiers with physical strength loaded them into the trunk.
Of course, this scene was watched by Morley, Miranda and other soldiers, and they were shocked to see it.
"Oh my God! Are those the bones of giant beasts? The head and arms can be so big, it is estimated that the body length will be more than 100 meters when you are alive! One soldier said in shock.
Another soldier thought about it and felt that something was wrong: "No, isn't it always the precious Gauss stone mine that we are guarding?" Why was such a thing unearthed on the last day? ”
Miranda subconsciously looked at Molly, who narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a falcon-like light in the depths of his eyes. He secretly glanced at the place where Wu Qi and his party were resting, and found that they all looked calm, and suddenly figured it out.
"Wu Qi, when you went down to the underground passage with Li Fushan last night, you had already seen the bones of these giant beasts." Mo Li no longer hid what was in his heart, he was 10 meters away from Wu Qi, and asked in a loud voice.
"Yes," Wu Qi turned, "and I'll tell you that these giant beast bones are the ultimate target of the mining project in Mine 130, and we have a bad intelligence relationship with Joestar. ”
The obsidian eyes met the vermilion eyes for a moment. At this moment, they seemed to temporarily let go of their past grievances; In the dangerous situation, Mo Li would rather let go of his arrogant pride and ask for information clearly, Wu Qi was not embarrassed by Mo Li, and told him the truth.
Since the bones have been exposed in front of them, of course it is impossible to hide it, and there is no need to hide it.
"When did you find out?"
"I guessed it was a few days ago, and I saw it for what it really looked like last night."
Morley kept his nervousness to himself, and asked the last question he was most concerned about with a grim face.
"Then this huge giant beast skeleton, was it a third-order life or a fourth-order life when it was alive?"
As soon as this question came out, the other three people all held their breath. The difference between "three" and "four" is a world of difference, and it is related to whether the difficulty of their return journey is difficult and dangerous, or whether they will cross the eighteen layers of hell!
Wu Qi did not answer this question directly, and if he said "four", it was tantamount to stabbing them in the heart. Wu Qi glanced at Mo Li meaningfully, and said calmly: "I don't know, I believe the answer you prefer in your heart." ”
The air suddenly quieted down, and Wu Qi didn't make it clear whether the bones were third-order or fourth-order lifeforms. He didn't say it, and Mo Li and the others couldn't ask about it, because they didn't know that Wu Qi had the "revelation of the gods of the wilderness" and could see through the genetic power contained in a skeleton.
They only seemed to know and felt that they didn't know, and in the end they still didn't have an answer.
Wu Qi thought to himself, this is good, the more you know, sometimes it may not be a good thing. The vast majority of people will succumb to fear and despair, and only a few will have the unbreakable will to face despair and ignite the fire of courage in the face of adversity.
The time came to the tenth minute, and the untransformed bones that had been broken down into multiple parts were finally loaded onto the armed heavy field vehicle. Ye Zheng put on a serious face and walked to the place where the escort team was resting.
"Line up!"
Wu Qi and the others quickly got up, lined up in a row with Wu Qi as the leader, and stared at Ye Zheng with nine pairs of eyes in unison. The soldiers pricked up their ears in the noisy environment of bullets and artillery fire, and listened to Officer Ye Zheng's next order.
Ye Zheng glanced around, all in front of him were soldiers who had survived the bloody battle, and the blood stains on the white soldiers' uniforms were their combat exploits!
Ye Zheng said lightly: "You have completed the task of guarding the No. 130 mine area very well, and I announce that the task of guarding the No. 130 mine is officially over from now on!" Next, you will follow the elite armed forces back to the base Dawn Base, and on the way back, the convoy will be surrounded and intercepted by the tide of plague beasts, and if necessary, the combatants will have to expose their bodies and shoot the enemy to clear the way. ”
"I hope that in a day, I, Ye Zheng, will be able to see all the people present at the Escort Headquarters of the Dawn Base. Listen to me and give me all the fight! Don't die at the last minute! ”
"Yes! Officer Ye! ”
The soldiers' answers were imposing. Ye Zheng took one last look at the soldiers, and then turned his head away.
"Everyone, follow me to car No. 2!"
In just three minutes of preparation time, all the staff of the No. 130 mine were loaded with armed heavy field vehicles, and all the large machines and trucks in the mine were left in the mine.
The stakes are not to turn into bones, they don't have time to carry these large machines, and it is not safe for the miners to ride in trucks, so they have to send troops to retrieve the property belonging to the base afterwards.
The formation of the platoon of armed heavy field vehicles was suddenly disbanded, and six armed heavy field vehicles lined up in a mighty column towards the exit of the mining area, leading to the first line of the heavenly canyon of the wasteland.
The army of plague species that poured out from the depths of the forest sensed the movement of the boneless breath, and immediately turned around and chased after the tail of the armed convoy. The anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy artillery of the No. 6 armed vehicle in charge of the broken were fired continuously, spreading a net of death fire and opening a zone of destruction at the entrance to the canyon.
Wu Qi and other soldiers of the mining area guard, Ye Zheng and more than a dozen soldiers of the elite armed forces were in the compartment of the No. 2 armed car. The wide, rectangular front window, 5 meters in front of it, is the rear of the No. 1 car. When the leader of the convoy, No. 1, drove out of the canyon, the convoy changed formation and became a hexagonal formation, maximizing the effective range and width of 20 anti-aircraft machine guns and 6 heavy guns.
The plague army chasing from the rear was all killed by the broken armed vehicles, and the flock of plague birds from above was solved by machine gunners and heavy gunners, and they could not see the scenery of the wasteland in front of them. It was as if they were in a claustrophobic space.
Rumble! An earth-shattering loud bang suddenly sounded on the roof of the car very closely, and Wu Qi and the others felt that the whole car was shaken violently, and the body sitting on the seat with a seat belt couldn't help but fly up a few centimeters.
